Swordcraft Practicing

To kill and to prevent being killed were once the apprentices' daily routines. However, the former had become very hard after the announcement of the "ban on killing". The only chance to kill without being punished was the monthly test.

Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus were eager to practice the new swordcraft more often. Thus, it was not only rare, but also too risky for them to have an opportunity to test it in a duel.

Every day numerous wandering swordsmen rushed into South City. As they had no significant relations, they were the best targets for practicing the skills by the standards of Tie Hanfeng. But since the last fiasco, he had not taken his apprentice down the mountain even once.

Maid Lotus' Master Shifu was a typical killer. He loved nothing except for his sword and would definitely not take his apprentice into the town.

As a result, Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus had to look for their targets inside the Fort.
